There's also the funny story that the Germans were trying to break the allies code at the same time as the allies were trying to break enigma + all the other non-famous ones that they had

The Germans didn't have a great lot of luck though with it because they were so dismissive of anyone that wasn't normal. So basically all the intellectuals and the mathematicians were either in a prison camp or were just not allowed to join on the basis they were a bit odd. The allies employed someone who couldn't really get the hang of cups, but he was a hell of a mathematician so they put up with it

It doesn't need to be anything complicated. If you just re-upload the original code to a new location, and then Nintendo has to start the entire process of tracking the uploader down in order to threaten them.

Ironically for a video games company Nintendo don't really seem to quite understand how the modern world works.

He also didn't say his name three times in 10 seconds. Then sort of fade off and vaguely look off into the distance.

I have that at uni.

Hot girl asked me to come to her place after a party, said she "wanted help with her computer".

She actually wanted help with her computer.

Hydro is great but it's not clean it requires you to flood vast areas of land, it's quite damaging to wildlife.

It is also highly situation dependent, you be quiet exactly the right kind of geography in order to be able to build hydro and then you require that there is no one living in the affected area otherwise it gets very expensive very quickly assuming you're allowed to do it at all.

So as far as I can tell the idea here is to just continuously piss off Nintendo forever with a never-ending game of whack-a-mole?

I'm fairly sure that all newly built houses in the UK require solar by law.

The link doesn't work at all.

If they simply didn't want to sell to a certain demographic it would still load the website but would just say they don't operate in your region. The error you get back is once you get back if the domain doesn't exist.

I think the bronzer has a bad effect on them.
